This photo print, taken in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, showcases the sheer beauty and power of this magnificent sailing boat. With its sleek design and gunter rig sail, The 6 Metre Vanda exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with international rule yachts during this era. Its skilled crew skillfully navigates through the wind as it sails on a broad reach, showcasing their expertise in handling such a vessel. Located off the coast of England's Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been recognized as a hub for sailing enthusiasts.
